ToaZZ whom it mayconcern: I

Be it. known that I, ALFRED H. THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Venice, in the county of Los Angeles and State ofCalifornia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hot-TaterHeating systems, of which the following is a specification. V a

An objectof this invention is to heatand distribute water underappropriate pressure to radiators so as to heat the same without dangerof blowing up thesystem and so as to insure against the heating systembecoming air bound. I 1 g A difficulty to overcome in heating anapartment and the like by the ordinary hot water heating apparatuspertaining to that apartment alone is th at'it is necessarythat there becirculation through the radiator when the apartment heating is inprogress; and it has heretofore been regarded as impracticable to havethe heaterand radiator at substantially the same level with oneanotherand at the same time avoid the for mation of air pockets and dangerouspressures. 5

An object of this invention isto overcome such difficulty and to make apractical hot Water heating system that will operate when whollyinstalled within the limits of a single I which I at'present deemdesirable.

Figure 1 comprises one embodiment of story. I

A principle of this invention is'that there is provided an elevateddistributer from which flows the heat to circulate through the radiatoror radiators; and the invention may be extended so as to also supply hotwater to the faucets for domestic use.

I have discovered that the heating system and the domestic hot watersystem may be combined provided that the -heater,.the radiator and thedistributer are arranged in certain relations to each other so as tomaintain.proper/circulation of heat and avoid the collectionof air andsteaminthe pipes.

Anotherobject' of this invention is to i make provision for-perfectcirculation of heat in the'heating system by utilizing a distributer anda supply :tank interconnected in such manner asgto reduce the water.

pressure in someinstances-and increasethe sure of the water supply mainand at the same t1me insure thesystemagainst blowing up due to excessivepressures which otherwise would be caused owing to the fact that a given"volume of water tendsto increase as the Water rises in temperaturefromssay' thirtynine degrees to .two hundred and twelvedegreesFahrenheit. 7 i

Circulation ina heatingsystem is ofparamount importance for withoutcirculation there can be nodistribution ofheat from the source of heatto the. radiating elements-1 Hot water heating systems heretoforeconstructed are liable to become air bound so as toimpede and oftenentirely destroy the circulation.

T-his invention is basic as regards the provision of a closedsingle-chambered CUS- tributer and as regards theprovision of a domestichot Water supply pipe connected to the distributer so as to make acombined hot waterdomestic and heating system.

-Th is inventionis also basic as regards the provlsion of a relief orsupply tank supplying water to the system.

. The invention may be embodied in various PatentedNov. 13,1917.

ways and I have illustrated several practi cal embodiments. w r Theaccompanying drawings illustrate dlfierent embodiments of the inventionthe inventionhaving a radiator, a closed distributer, a heater atsubstantially the same level with the radiator and a-hot water faucet.

big; I comprises still another embodiment'of the invention having aradiatoiy-a closed distributer, a heater below the level i of theradiator, a faucet, and a supply tank.

Referring first to the structure common to the various embodiments shownin the dif ferent views, there is provided a radiator or radiators 1, aclosed single-chambered dis- 7 tributer 2 above the leiel of saidradiator the pressure of the water supply, and is and a heater 3 whichmay be substantially on the same level as the radiator as in Figs. 1, 2,5 and 6 or maybe at a lower level than the radiator as in Figs. 3, a and7; The radiators are provided with valves a.

\Vater is supplied to the system through a water main 0.

The distributor is of substantial capacity and forms an enlarged chambercapable of accommodating any accumulation of air or steam likely tooccur in the system under likely to prevent such accumulation of air orsteam from reaching the circuit and thereby stopping the circulation ofwater therethrough. I

The radiator 1, distributor 2 and heater 3 are connected in what forconvenience of description 1 term a radiatorcircuit or heating circuit,and the distributer 2 and heater 3 are connected in what for convenienceof description I term a bypass circuit'or hot water circuit and saidcircuits are constructed in various ways in the different views and willnow be described.

In Fig. 1 the heater 3 is connected to the distributor 2 by a riser pipe4, the distributer 2 is connected to the radiator 1 by a drop pipe 5 andthe radiator is connected to a the heater by pipes 6 and 7, all of saidpipes together with the heater, radiator and distributer forming theradiator circuit; also the distributer is connected to the pipe 7 by areturn pipe 8, said pipes 4, 7, 8 together with the heater anddistributor formingtho non-shut-olt by-pass circuit.

The distributer 2 is vented by reason of it being connected by adomestic hot water supply pipe to a domestic cock or fan cet 10.

From the foregoing it is clear thatasuposin the heater 3 to be incommission 1 if' D it is desired to utilize the radiator circuit thevalve a will be opened so that hot water will circulate from the heater3 through the pipe 4, distriouter 2, pipe 5, radiator 1, pipes 6 and?and thence back to the heater 3;

and that if it is desired to cut out the radiator circuit the valve 11will be closed, thus causing thev hot water to circulate from the heater3 through the pipe 1, distributor 2, pipes 8 and 7, and thence to theheater 8.

When it is desired to draw hot water for any purpose whatsoever thefaucet 10 will be opened thus drawing hot water from the distributer 2through the pipe 9, and if there is any steam or air that has collectedin the top of the distributer, said steam orair will be drawn oilthrough the faucet 10.

From the foregoing it is seen that perfect circulation is had at alltimes when the heater 3 is in commission, whether or not the radiator lis in commission owing to the open by-pass circuit and thatthere are novalves which must be operated in order to prevent blowing up of thesystem.

The embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 1 is adapted to worksatisfactorily at the same pressure as the pressure of water in thesupply main 1), and hereafter it will be shown how the pressure may beincreased or decreased if the pressure in the supply main is too low forgood circulation or is too high for safety of the system.

In F ig. 2 the heater 3 is connected by a riser pipe 13 to thedistributor 2, said distributer is connected by a drop pipe ll to theradiator 1 and said radiator is connected by pipes 15, 16 to the heater,all of said "pipes together with the heater, distributor and radiatorconstituting the radiator circuit; and the pipe 16 is connected by areturn pipe 17 to the distributer 2, said pipes 16 and 17 together withthe pipe 13, the

heater and the distributer constituting the non-shut-otf by-passcircuit. a

' The distributor 2 is vented by a pipe 18 into a supply tank 19 whichis above the level of the distributer and which is connected by a feedpipe 20 to the pipe 16 so as to supply the circuits with water.

Supply tank 19 is connected to the supply main 6 leading from a suitablesource of supply, not shown, and is provided with an overflow pipe 21slightly below the level of the outlet end of the pipe 18.

The faucet 10 is connected by a pipe 22 to the vent pipe 18 and by saidvent pipe is of course connected to the distributer 2.

From the foregoing it is clear that with the embodiment shown in Fig. 2,the heater 3 being in commission, when it is desired to utilize theradiator circuit the valve a'will be opened to allow hot water tocirculate fromthe heater 3through the pipe 13, distributer2,'pipe*14,-=radiator l and thence by, pipes 15,;16Mback'to the heater3; and

that when it is desired to cut out the radiator circuit the .valvetaWillbe. Closed, thus causing hot, water to circulate, from the heater 3,through the pipe :13, distributor $2, andithence by pipes 17, "16back-tothe heater 3. 5 t,

Hot water willibe drawn from the system by opening theifaucetl O. e. it,

, 'l his emb diment ofthe invention, is of advantage where it is,necessaryor desirable V .to either increase ordecrease the pressureunder which the system operates tor itzlS understood that ordinaryradiatorsare built to withstand a maximum pressure of from ten to twentypounds per squareinch and" in order to get good circulation it is Wellto utilize the maximum pressure which may be done by elevating thetank19'a suflici'ent height, for that purpose; also if the pressure inthe water main is in excess of twenty pounds the pressure 1s relievedat. the tank 19 which is providedwith a float-valve 64:1

to automatically control the water supply from the main b. i

In Fig. 3 the heater 3 iszconnected by a riser'pipe24t to. thedistributer 2, said distributer is connected by a drop pipe 25,to

the radiator l and'said iradiat-orl is connected by pipes 26, 27 to the.heater, 3, all of a said pipestogether withtlie heater, the dis tributerand the v radiator constitutingthe radiator circuit; and the heater isconnected by said pipe 27 to a pipe 28 which in turn connects to adomestic hot water tank 29 that is connected by a pipe .3Uito thedistributer2, said pipes 28, and30 together with the pipes 24, 27,heater, distributer and hot Water tank constituting the primary by-passcircuit. The pipe 28 is provided with a valve 31 and the hot water pipe9 and faucet 10 areprovided as in Fig. 1.

The pipes 25, 26, are not only connected .to one another by theradiator1 but are also connected by a by-pass pipe 32, saidpipes 25, 26 andby-pass pipe 32 together with the pipe 27, heater 3, pipe 24 anddistributer 2 constituting a secondary or non-shut-ofi" bypass circuit.t From the foregoing 1t .1s clear that, supposing the heater 3 to be incommission, if

it is desired to utilize the radiator circuit the valve a will be openedsothat hotiwater will circulate from the heater 3 through the pipe 24,distributer 2, pi e25, radiator land thence by pipes 26, 2 back to thetheater 3,

and that if it is desired to cut out the radia- -.tor circuit,considering that the valve 31 is open so as to supply the tank 29 withhot 60,v

water, the valve a will be closed, thus causing. the hot watertocirculate from the heater 3 throughthe pipe 24, distributer 2, pipe Q30,domestic tank 29 and thence by pipes 28, 27 back to the heater 3.

u, If it {isdesiredtocutoutthe domestic tank 29 from the heater '3, thevalve 31, will be closed and, if the valve on is'open, circw lation willthen occur from the heater. 3

through tl1e" pipe,,2 t,, distributer 2, pipe 25,

radiator l, and thence by pipes 26, 27 back to the heater. 7 t

e If it is desired to cut out the radiator circuit and alsocut out thedomestic tank 29,

both valves aand 3'liwill' be closed and cir- 1 culati'on will then beestablished from the heater 3 through the'pipe 24, distributerb2,

pipe 25, by-pass pipe 32, and thence by pipes 26, 27 back to the heater.

In Fig. t'as in Fig. 3 just described, the: heater 3 is connected bypipe 2i to the distributer 2, said distributer 2 is connected by thepipe25 to the radiator 1, and saidvradiator is connected by pipes 26, 27 tothe heater,said pipes together with the heater, .o

distributer and radiator constituting the raisconnected by the pipe 27to the pipe/'28 Which in turn connects to the domestic tank diatorcircuit; also, as in Fig. 3, theheater 29 that is connected by the pipe30 to the distributer 2, said pipes 2 7i, 30, 28, to-

, gether with the heater, distributer and dotmestlc tank constltutingthe primary bypass circuit.

Additionally, in Fig. at the pipes and 3,0 are connected to one anothernotonly by the domestic tank 29tvbut are also con- .nected by a bypasspipe 33, said pipes 2a,

30, 28, 27 and by-pass pipe 33 together with the heater and distributerconstituting a s'econdary or non-shut-otf by-pass circuit; also the pipe27 is connected by a pipe 3% to'the supply tank 19, said supply tankbeing connected' by a vent pipe 35 to the distributer The hot watersupply pipe 9 :is connected by means of the pipe 35 to the distributer2.

From the foregoing it is clear that, supposing the heater 3 to be incommission, if it is desired to use the radiator circuit, the

.valve to will be opened so that hot water will circulate from theheater 3 through the pipe 24, distributer 2, pipe 25, radiator l,

and thence by pipes 26, 27 back to the heater; and that if it is desiredto cutjout 3l willibe closed, causing circulation of the hot Watertothen take place from the heater;

3 through the pipe 2%, distributer 2,,pi'pes30, by--pass pipe 33, thenceby pipes 28, 27 back to theheater.

In Fig. 5 the heater 3 is connected by a pipe 36 to the distributor 2,said distributer is connected by a pipe 37 to a radiator or said pipe391 to the heater 3, said pipes i0, 1

1 11 together with the pipes 36, 391, heater,

distributer and domestictank constituting the primary by-pass clrcuit.

The distributer 2 and pipe 38 are not con- I nected together only by thepipes 39, &0, all

i and domestic tank 29 but are also connected by a by-pass pipe Thepipes 36, 39, 391 together with said by-pass pipe -12, heater 3 anddistributor 2 constitute thesecondary or nonshut-oft by-pass circuit.

- The pipe 39 is connected by a pipe 43 to thesupply tank 19 which isconnected by a vent pipe i-il to the distributer 2, said vent pipe beingconnected by apipe 45 having a U-bend #16 to the faucet 10. 1

The operation of the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 5 isclear rom the foregoing described operations of the previously describedembodiments.

InFig. 6, the heater 3 is connected by a pipe 47 to the distributor 2,said distributer is connected by a pipe $8 to a radiator or radiators 1and by a pipe 19 to another radiator 50, said radiators 1 beingconnected by pipes 51, 52 to the heater and said radiator 50 beingconnected by a pipe 53 and by said pipe 52 to the heater; the pipes 47,48, 51, 52 together with the heater, distributer and radiators 1constituting the radiator circuit, and the pipes 47, 4:9, 52, 53together with the heater, distributor and radiator 50 constituting theprimary by-pass circuit.

The pipes 49 and 53 are connected togetl er not only by the radiator 50but are also connected by a by-pass pipe 54,, the pipes 4-7, 19, 52, 53together with said by pass pipe 54, the heater and distributerconstituting the secondary or non-shut-oti bypass circuit.

The distr buter 2 is vented by a pipe connected tc the upper part of thesupply tank 19 which is connected by a feed pipe, 56 to the pipe 52. a

From the foregoing it is clear that, supposing the heater 3 to be incommission, if

it is desired to heat the radiator or radiators radiator or radiators'l,and thence by pipes 51, 52 back to the heater; and if it is desired tocut out the radiator circuit the valve or' valves a will be closed, thuscausing the hot water to circulate from the heater 3 a through the pipe47, distributer 2, pipe 49,

radiator 50, if the valve a of said radiator is open, thence by pipes53, 52 back to the heater; it being clear that if it is not de siredtoheat the radiator 50 the valve a will be closed, thus establishing thecircuit by way of the by-pass 5 1. Y

' In Fig. 7 the heater 3 is below the level of the radiators 1 and isconnected by a pipe 57 to the distributer 2, and said distributer isconnected by a pipe 58 to the radiator or radiators 1, and said radiatoror radiators are connected by pipes 59, 60 to the heater,

. pass circuit.

The pipe 60 is connected by a pipe 62 to the bottom of the supply tank19 which is connected by a vent pipe 63 to the distributor 2.

The operation oi the embodiment of the invention disclosed in Fig. 7 isreadily understood from the preceding description of the operation ofthe other embodiments hereinbefore described.

Referring particularly to Fig. 2 as a type of the several forms shown inFigs. 2, 4:, 5, 6 and 7 it may be assumed that before the burner 6st isstarted into operation, the water throughout the system may be of thesame temperature as when it was admitted; say 39 F., for best example;that being the temperature of greatest density. In such case, it isevident the water level in supply tank 19 would be at the ball float bof supply valve 641 and not at the level indicated at it. Since thefloat in the position shown holds the float valve closed, any expansionof the water that might occur must be accommodated by raising the levelof the water in vent pipe 18 and tank 19.

There is free communication at all times through supply pipe 20 and pipe16, be tween the supply tank 19 and the heater 3; and it is evident thatany expansion of water in heater 3, pipe 13, distributor 2 and pipe 18and any other part of the system to which the hot water from the heater3 flows, will result in a rise of the water level in the vent pipe 18,and that such rise of the waterlevel in vent pipe 18 will result in arise of the water level in supply tank 19. It is seen that the initialrise of the water level in supply tank 19 from the level of the float bto the level It, is due solely to the counterbalancing weight of thewater in vent pipe 18, and may occur while the water in tank 19 and pipe20 remains at the assumed initial temperatureof 39 F.

Since the water in pipe 13, distributer 2,

vent pipe 18 and the portions ofithe system receiving hot water frompipe 13 is of less density than the water in the supply'tank 19'andsupply pipe 20, the water will stand in vent pipe 18 at a h gher level.than in" tank 19. Consequently, to prevent flow from pipe lsiintotan'k19, the vent 18'-from vent pipe 18into the supply tank 19"must be'sufiiciently high above -the'counte1'-bal-- ancing water level 72 tomorethan; account for the diiierencein specific gravity of the twocolumns of water representedby tank 19 and pipe 20 on the one sideand'the heater 3, pipe 13, distributer 2 and vent pipe 18 onthe otherside That is :to say, ifthe vent 18 from pipe 18 intothesup ply tank '19were at the level it a water circulation would be established from theheater through pipe 13, distributer 2, and pipe 18, before the level itwas reached'in tank19, so thatthe water in saidtank would be heateddirectly from the heater through pipe 18. A purpose of this invention isto avoid such a result."

It iswell understood that the-column of denser water in tank 19 andpipeFQO will balance a water column ofless density and greater heightdepending onthe difference in specific gravity of the two columns, ir-

l respective of their. volumes;

In con tructing the system as. suggested in Figs. 2', a, 5, 6 and 7,care should be taken that the vertical'di tance 0', Fig. 2, from thehighest water level at of the "system to the lowest water level 6 of thesystem exceeds by height f the vertical distance gffrom the supply tankexpanded water level h to said lowest water'level e, and in practice theheight f is made greater than that is to say, for instance, if thedistance g is approximately 23 feet, then f isma-de somewhat more thanone foot so as to pro vide for the difference between'the he ght of thehotter leg'of water extending from the heater level 7; to the highestwater level (Z and that of the colder leg of' W'ater extending from theexpanded waterle'vel h to the heater level is." This is necessary toavoid ventinghot water into the supply Said difl'erencein height" isdeter-- convenient- ""ln'Fig. 5 gas in the expansion tank wouldbe /173of one foot or'6.93+ inches.

When the water flowing is nearly boiling hot, the "vertical distance 0from the highest water level clof ther sys temto the-I lowest waterlevel a of the systern exceeds by awheight f thevertica-l disfrom theheater tance g froin'the sup-ply tank-water level "h; to said-lowestwater level '6, andg'in practice, a

if the distance 9 is approximately twentye ghree feet, then' f is.somewhat-more than one; t I v .v

Furthermore cit-is noted that the heater and radiator '1 are connectedcircuit and" that the lower part'of the supply tank-19 is:

connected to said circuit at approximately.

the lowest level of saidlcircu it andthat the upper part of said supplytank is connected through the distributer2 to said circuit atthehighest'levelof said circuit. A s

the cold water is turned into the system, said From the foregoing it isclear that when water will rise in said system until it reaches.

the highest level in said system; and that air cannot; possibly beentrapped in any portion of the system so as to produce a break thethermal conductivity of the system; and i that after the systemis-filledwith water such break cannot occur ;'and. also that presv surecannot occur in excess 0151 the pressure predetermined for the system-bythe eleva tion of. the supply tank above the lowest water; level (2 ofthe system. v

I have discovered that it is importantthat the distributerQ beelevatedabove the water level in in the heater of-the system byadistance m equal to or greater than twice. the o distance 12 from: thewater level In, Fig-'1, t0] the lowest water levelez because of thediffere ence between the densityof the-mass of water;

and air'extendingr'rom: the distributer 2 at g the highestwaterl'evelv-of the circuits to the;

heater level '70 and the density, of the mass; of water extendingfrom'said heaterlevel to the lowest water level er of thecircuitsso asto-obtainmaximum-circulation. 'For ine stance if the distancea" from-theheater level is to the lowestwater level 6 is assumed to be ten"feet,--then the'distance m from said,

heaterlevel 7s to the'dis'tributer 2 should-not be'less than twentyfeet-but is preferably made as much greater than twenty feet as is issupplied to the burner 64 through a pipe 65 controlled by a thermostaticvalve 66 of any well known or preferred construction and said valve maybe set so that when water which passes through the pipe 391 reaches acertain predetermined temperature the gas supplied through the pipe 65will be shut olf leaving only a small flame as a pilot light, not shown,at the burner to maintain the fire, it being understood that when thetemperature of the water becomes lower the gas is turned on by theautomatic action of the thermostatic valve to maintain the requisitetemperature.

In Figs. 2, 4;, 5, 6, 7 the overflow pipe 21 is sufliciently above thelevel of the Water supply main b to allow for expansion of the volume ormass of Water and air in the supply tank 19 and the pipes leading tosaid tank, the volume at say 212 Fahrenheit at sea level beingapproximately one twentythird greater than the volume at 39 Fahrenheit.

Thewater level in the supply tank 19, Figs. 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 is governed bythe floatvalve 641 at the discharge end of the water supply main 6. i

By the term heater level I mean the lowest point at which the heat isapplied to the water in the heater. In the drawings the same isindicated as being slightly above the level of the top of the burner 64.Such point is at the lowest coil the heat is applied to in coil heaters.

I claim 1. In a combined hot Water domestic and heating system thecombination of a hot Water circuit including aclosed distributer ofsubstantial capacity, a heater and a radiator; the distributer beingsituated above the level of the heater; a service cock; a pipe leadingfrom the top of said distributer to said service cock; and a. supplypipe for the system; said supply pipe being adapted to produce pressurein the distributer and said distributer forming an enlarged chamber ofsubstantial capacity capable of accommodating any accumulation of air orsteam likely to occur in the system under the pressure of the Watersupply, and to prevent such accumulation of. air or steam from reachingthe circuit and thus stopping the circulation of water.

through the heating system, the pressure in said distributer operatingto force the water throu h said service cock.
